Here are the Hurricanes’ lines for tonight’s game against Washington. Cullen and Sutter remain on the sidelines.

Joe Sakic (back) is doubtful for tonight’s game. Sakic continues to play at a very high level, so the Avalanche will obviously miss him tonight.

Looks like Mark Parrish will be in the line-up for Dallas tonight. The struggling Stars have two tough games coming up against the Ducks and Sharks, so we will see if the past few days off have helped the team regroup.

Jim Gintonio of the Arizona Republic has a good article about the 2008 NHL draft class. Many of the 2008 draft class are being rushed to the NHL in my opinion.

Paul Kariya (lower-body injury) won’t play tonight against the Sharks. The Blues are obviously hoping this injury is minor because Kariya has been arguably their best player this season.

Lightning GM Brian Lawton was extremely unhappy with his team’s play in last night’s game versus New Jersey. The Lightning as a whole need to have a little more patience with this group.

The Capitals have rolled out an all Russian first line of Ovechkin-Fedorov-Semin. That line sure doesn’t lack for speed, skill or scoring ability. This new line is obviously Bruce Boudreau’s attempt to Alexander Ovechkin going.
